Ever wondered why some people tend to prefer loud and audacious heavy metal while some resort to classical, soft, and soothing instrumental. The answer to this question has more to do than mere personal choices. As a matter of fact, our choice of music tells a lot about our cognitive strengths and capacities. Likewise, music can also be used as an effective intervention to improve your intelligence quotient and optimize your brain performance.

Classical music resonates intelligence.

The effect of music on brain activity has always been an interesting research case for neuroscientists, psychologists, and researchers. In 1993 Rauscher along with his fellow scientists made the unanticipated claim that normal survey subjects responded with a better spatial reasoning skills after hearing Mozart’s sonata for 10 minutes, as compared to those subjects who received relaxation instructions designed to lower silence or blood pressure.

The groundbreaking claim created waves among the research community, followed by a long haul of further researches that only verified the hypothesis made by Rauscher. The inferences of Rauscher’s research have popularized over time and termed as The Mozart Effect.

Various researchers have inferred that The Mozart Effect is an effective therapy to calm hyperactivity, improve clarity, creativity and performance scores, minimize errors, accelerate the learning process, and raise your IQ scores by 9 points or even more.

The physiological and morphological studies reveal that the pitch, wavelengths, and frequency of classical music complement the brain activity. It fine tunes your mind and act as a positive catalyst to trigger your cognitive functions such as learning, understanding, reasoning, as well as retention.

“Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.” – Carlo Desierto, Hemp Educate America, Board Chairman

The research-based evidences might be new to the world, but the idea of the positive effects of classical music in boosting brain performance goes all the way back to the Greek Era. The manuscripts and picture illustrations of the era feature details of some characters that used to play classical notes for Greek Gods.

Impressionism in music.

The best classic composers of all times, including Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and Franz Schubert were considered as the geniuses of their era. This might primarily be because of the fact that they were continuously composing and hearing classical notes. The continuous exposure to classical music vibrations tuned their neurons for optimal performance. No wonder they were able to produce some of the best classical numbers in the history of music and left the world spellbound in the charisma of their notes.

The Combined Effect of Classical Music and Cannabis Medication

The essential extracts from the cannabis plant can be used as a medicinal intervention to boost brain performance and increase intelligence. However, the effect of the medicine can significantly be increased if the course of the medicated treatment is complemented by classical music playing in the background.

Yes, that’s right! The combined effect of classical music and cannabis treatment can bring out the genius in you.

Just from my experience, the musical vibrations of classical music helps my body absorb the core essence of the medicine and it amplifies my thought process. It optimizes the retention of information in my brain, and it improves my rational perception and memory.

Additionally, the incessant boom in my mental capabilities compels me to seek more information, with better learning and consumption. Aside from that, it keeps me happy, lively and active, increasing my confidence and self-esteem. It brings an incredible improvement in my focus and performance.

Was I born with this special talent? Not sure, but do take some time to read our previous article, The Brain is Wider Than The Sky; Can Genius Be Learned?, where it implies that the intervention of certain learning techniques can significantly accelerate the cognitive performance.

About the Author:Danilo Banta, M.B.A. has numerous ventures and is a pioneer in the newly emerging legal cannabis/hemp industry. He holds a Graduate degree in Business Administration (M.B.A.) through University of Phoenix and brings his expertise in business strategy, administration, and finance to Hemp Educate America Foundation as the Treasurer, providing the nonprofit a clear path into the green movement.

On behalf of the entire Hemp Educate America Foundation family, I am pleased to introduce you to Hemp Educate America and to offer my vision for the organization.

Hemp Educate America Foundation, a San Diego-based nonprofit, gathers resources to educate and train Millennials who are interested in bio-sustainability and “green” industries to become successful entrepreneurs. We formally began on November 8, 2016; a day otherwise known as Election Day in the United States, and a day that now signifies further expansion of the green market in California, Nevada, Maine, and Massachusetts.

Our mission here is to assist and educate bio-conscious and green advocate youths that want to learn entrepreneurship to better green our world. We strive to conjure students with an eco-conscious mindset who will maintain the triple bottom line of “people, planet, and profit” in their professional endeavors.

This organization holds tremendous value as American industry is trending towards bio-sustainability, and hemp will play a critical role in the establishment of a new economic paradigm as its versatility will disrupt a myriad of unsustainable industries.

I’m passionate about this organization as I feel it is my inherent duty to do my part to fix the problems laid by previous generations for the benefit of future ones, particularly when it comes to the environment – but I can’t do it alone.

As time progresses, matters of the world are left to be dealt with younger generations, and I’m making a conscious effort to pass on the knowledge I’ve learned about the green industry to those younger than me simply because the youth can do more with the information, and apply it in ways never done before. As climate change bears down and legislation evolves, there is no time to waste.

Fortunately, it is prime time for students to receive the assistance they need as we are approaching the “Era of the Entrepreneur” and are at the dawn of the “Green Rush.” With Hemp Educate America incentivizing such an opportunity coupled with formal education, I see the organization being an appropriate catapult for green progress, advancement, and revolution – a necessity for the betterment of mankind and human prosperity.
I’m dedicated to reaching our objectives by: (1) aligning ourselves with leading associations in the green market, (2) connecting the community of green innovators and entrepreneurs to the youth, (3) spreading awareness and attracting the right students to our foundation through education. Our immediate measures of success consist of the increasing number of students granted financial aid, scholarships, and sponsorships to pre-approved courses or networking opportunities.

It’s imperative to be as transparent as possible and donations will first be utilized to fundraising engagements, and then to educate potential students through educational tours of high schools, colleges, and universities to divulge information not only about the organization and the opportunity, but of the increasing importance of sustainable innovation.

By December 31, 2017 our goal is to fund-raise $900,000 to educate 5,000+ students on hemp and its versatility, to have granted financial aid and partial scholarships to 150 students, and to have sponsored 12 students’ enrollment in premium networking events and additional relevant courses.

With your support we can take initiative and MAKE AMERICA “GREEN” AGAIN!

Thank you for your consideration,

Alanna Hinds

What Do We Solve?

Direct: Close the gaps between entrepreneurship, formal education, & mentorship

Colleges and universities are losing their appeal with the rise of tuition rates and no guarantee for success once completed, which has sparked exponential growth in the field of entrepreneurship. Formal education; however, still holds tremendous value particularly in fields of sustainability, environmental studies, agriculture, and biotechnology which will all be necessary for a green future.

We aim to revolutionize the educational experience by providing both financial assistance to students and mentorship to those with an entrepreneurial spirit as an entrepreneur with a mentor’s guidance is a recipe for success.

Indirect: Setting a green standard for innovation

We aim to incentivize environmental awareness and innovation.

We go a step surpassed finding individuals with the drive to be an entrepreneur. We scout for individuals looking for a lasting field and resources, but who also have the drive to be global leaders that are motivated to create for the betterment of human prosperity.

Why We’re Here:

American industry is trending towards bio-sustainability, and hemp will play a critical role in the establishment of a new economic paradigm as its versatility will disrupt a myriad of unsustainable industries.

Gas, coal, timber, plastic, paper, contaminant and pharmaceutical industries are scheduled for collapse as hemp contains the power to create clean-burning biodiesel, be a durable and recyclable paper, contains medicinal benefits with CBD, and causes phytoremediation (soil contaminant cleanup) naturally.

Hemp may have been made illegal in the first place because of capitalism and industry, but one thing is clear: in the years leading up to the hemp ban, “we” viewed hemp as a threat, instead of integrating the plant with the number of industries where we can use it. Now, as climate change bears down and legislation evolves, industrial hemp will be imperative to the “green” movement.

Just as imperative as Millennials spearheading the movement. Despite the stereotypes associated with the generation, it’s important to realize that the fate of the future starts with the youth and it’s time to view the next generation of global leaders in a positive light… The mantra of the Millennials is to challenge convention; to find new and better ways of doing things; to be pragmatic idealists and growth hackers. They are unaffiliated with big institutions as they are unimpressed with their leadership. They will be the new greatest generation of optimistic entrepreneurs who are motivated to reach their full potential and who yearn to change the world. They realize it is their duty to fix the problems laid by previous generations, particularly when it comes to the environment.
